The Air Caste
« on: December 10, 2005, 06:13:22 PM »
A question to you all - who amongst you field Tau flyers? Which ones and how often? Personally, I regularly field one to two Barracudas and in large battles will throw in an Orca for good measure. As the Manta is an abomination in the eyes of the Aun on a 40K board I have not considered that acquisition as of yet. All the same, I do have a hankering to pick up a Tigershark (original, not the Heavy Railgun version) as some Drone loving is always welcome.

Yourselves?

I currently can't afford them.  I'd consider getting a Baracuda in the distant future IF I didn't have to pay $110 for the rules for it...

What is the point in having the Tigershark carry not quite 2 full squads of drones?  If it could actually hold 2 squads, it might be worth taking.

It's not the number of Drones that matter as much as where you may put them. Being that the Flyer itself carries the Drones you may deploy them even when Deep Strike rules are not normally available.

While expensive monetarily as well as game cost I just like the way it looks.  :)
